OptiBoard has an opportunity for a new main sponsor beginning immediately.
Started in 1995, OptiBoard has grown into the largest online site for eyecare professionals in the world. If you have an interest in becoming an OptiBoard sponsor, please let me know. Thanks, Steve
P.S. I have already turned down an online retailer as a sponsor. It would be nice if the eyecare industry would support OptiBoard as much as much as OptiBoard supports them.

Stupid question thread

Anyone with burning questions like "Are all progressive the same?" or "What is zero distance power?" Also, " I make 10$ hr, am I overpaid?" And" how can I get good job at lenzcrazers?"
Just ask here.
We wont get annoyed.
We have nothing better to discuss.
Anyone want to see my toenail collection?

Here's a new one I got from a patient today: Can you give me my old prescription, because xyz optical will on go up to a -6.00 in a drill frame, and my new rx is too high. I will only wear a drill frame, and I have to shop at xyz because I have a credit card for there.

Prism or Pyramid....its all the same, right?

If one would be building an Egyptian type pyramid or mock huge prism out of empty Busch and Schlitz beer cans while the significant other is away on vacation, would it be possible to angle the reflective sunlight off of the bottom of the mirror like beer cans in such a way as to light a tinder bundle that would be hot enough to ignite a well prepared charcoal pyramid in order to char animal muscle to a point of palate perfection that only more liquid gold from said beer cans could properly wash down?

And if so, would erecting a pyramid of the empty nectar of the Gods cans, give proper tribute to true optical friends?

It's like Trial-By-Combat, where God ensures that the virtuous heart will be victorious. If your animal tissue is unsatisfying, then your optical friends are insufficiently true.

I hads me an exzam in yur office last week and the doc tol' me that I'z gots Cadillacs in my eyes and I needs ta see an offtha mole gist.... But I dun't understand ... how did I gets them cars in mah eyes?

Ok, I'll bite. I taught English at the high school level for 18 years before my husband retired from the military, and I decided to work part-time in the optical field.

Question: Why do I get frustrated with posts such as the following, that have absolutely no regard for capitalization, sentence structure, or punctuation? The ad mentions "professional" over and over, but there is nothing even slightly professional about the post.

Am I crazy to notice such things? Is it just me?

OK, I gave up on making the corrections. I would give them an "F", have them re-do it, and find the rest of the errors that I didn't bother to correct. I would then give them the opportunity for extra credit by cleaning out the gutters on my house.
